| 7x9 watercolor. This painting for sale. |
I've been working on these for a while, and it was finally time to finish them. The top bird is of course a bluebird, and the bottom is, I believe, a house finch. It seems as though I like to paint fat birds. I look out the windows and rarely see birds as fat as the ones I paint. Again, I am experimenting with making the border between the subject and background very dark. I think on the finch painting it gives it a really interesting effect, though I think i did a better job with the green than the blue.

The scariest thing I have done in a long time is paint the pine branches in front of the finch. I had to channel my inner Bob Ross and pretend that all was going to be ok if I did it. And I think it turned out ok. I had to do something to push the bird back into the painting just a little bit, and to paint in front is the best way to do it. Now, I probably have a bit more confidence to do it again when I need to.
I love the way the background colors ran together in the bluebird painting and love the way the blue spread out in the finch painting. I am definitely gonna work harder to get both of those effects in future paintings.
